VESSEL-TOP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 763,618, dated .I une 28, 1904.

Application filed March 10, 1904. Serial No. 197,444. (No model.) i

T0 all whom, it muy con/007%.-

Be it known that I, PHILIP LINDEMEYR, a resident of Baltimore, in the State ofl Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vessel-Tops; and I do hereby declare the following' to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to vessel-tops or nozzles adapted for sprinkling or discharging the vessel contents in a small quantity at a time, and is an improvement on Patent No. 7 42,201

Agranted me October 27, 1903. The top ofthepatented vessel cannot be closed after it is filled with the ink or the like without great care to avoid smearing the tools required for the operation.

The object of the present improvement is to avoid this difficulty and to providea sprinkling-top oLthmsame general character that shall be applieablentdv'ess'els made of any material and vt'or'seurre other obvious advantages.

rIhe invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a partial longitudinal section of' the improved vessel, and Fig. 2 shows van enlarged vertical central section of the filling-.nozzle and the discharge-nozzle separate from the can. Fig. 3 is a partial plan view of a modified nozzle 4, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line 4 4 of Fig. 3.

Numeral 1 denotes the body of a can or other vessel, which may be made of any suitable material and any desired size.

2 denotes a filling-nozzle made, preferably, of a comparatively largesizfer the convenient and cleanly introduction of liquids or semiliquids. This nozzle may be provided with a bead 3 to facilitate securing thereto a reducing discharge-nozzle 4 of cupform. Said latter nozzleis made of a size circumferentially to lit the interior of nozzle 2 and preferably to exclude the entrance of the vessel contents between them and of suchv length that its perforated bottom is in or near the plane of the top of the vessel-body.

The bottom of the nozzle 4 is provided with a small discharge opening 6, surrounded by an upwardly-extending bur or edge 7, adaptedto penetrate a cork pressed down upon it.

The upper end of nozzle 4 has an outwardly and downwardly turned rim 8 engaging the bead, which rim maybe corrugated more or less, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4, to facilitate turning it around the bead.

9 denotes a packing of any suitable material to effectually seal the joint between the nozzles, the vessel being designed in some cases for the use of materials having a highly volatile ingredient.

In manufacture the rim 8 is partially formed, the packing then inserted and the packed nozzle 4 pushed into nozzle 2, and the rim 8 turned under against the lower side of bead 3. 'Ihe nozzle 4 can be removed by opening out or spreading the rim 8 by the use of a suitable tool. "I

10 denotes a cork having a wooden cap l1; but any suitable stopper may be employed, but preferably of su ch material that the fiange or edge 7 may be made to penetrate it, as indicated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

1. The vessel having a comparatively large opening in one end, a nozzle fixed in said opening, and a cup-nozzle having a small dischargeopening in its bottom and joined to the nozzle first named, said joint comprisinga rim of one nozzle turned over upon the edge of the other, and a packing under the rim, said dischargeopening being surrounded by a flange to penetrate a cork.

2. The vessel having acomparatively large openingin one end, anozzle fixed in said opening, and a cu p-nozzle having asmall dischargeopening in its bottom and joined tothe nozzle first named, said joint comprising a rim of one nozzle turned over upon the edge of the other, said bottom being in substantially the same plane as the top of the vessel-body.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

PHILIP LINDEMEYR.
